Tara’s Top Tips

Spring Tablescaping Tips from Tara! 🌼🌿
Our team at Total Fitout had the pleasure of chatting with @taradolloconnor @thedesignedtable , who was kind enough to share her favourite tips for creating a fresh, seasonal tablescape with us!

  • Keep it low key & simple: incorporate pastel palette through seasonal blooms
  • Create a storyline: look for inspiration around you in your garden. Bring in seasonal flowers to provide colour to an all-white tablescape. Cut them at different heights to create a table meadow
  • Embrace the unexpected: It’s a family gathering so don’t be afraid to mix lots of colour to make it festive. Introduce bold and colourful linens and don’t be afraid to mix and match colours and patterns
  • Embrace a runner: They are a great alternative to using a full tablecloth on your table. Layer in complementary placemats and napkins and you can create a beautiful look
  • Keep it low: One of my pet peeves regarding tablescapes is having to twist and turn to see the guest sitting opposite you, which is why when it comes to centrepieces and florals you should keep it low. Just add height to your table with tapered candles
  • Bring the outdoors in: This time of year, I love to use potted spring florals on my table. They can be planted in the garden after for you to enjoy next year

From layering textures to adding that perfect pop of colour, Tara has your spring table covered!
